"Is this the feeling of losing a bet? It's not bad." Emperor Inaba watched the turtle race from the big screen in the casino. He was not depressed because of losing money, nor did he try to analyze Feiton's looseness in the final straight sprint. The reason for turning on the accelerator was just to show a weird smile that was mixed with self-deprecation and relief.
After Baccarat left, she immediately grabbed a handful of chips and ran away, leaving the responsibility of serving her master to Ling Xian. Unsurprisingly, all the gambles were won, and the chips changed from "a handful" to "a suitcase." However, because she never stayed at the same gambling table, the amount of bets was not large, and she even used video phone bugs to monitor the casino. None of the managers noticed how unusual her winning streak was.
The emperor did not deliberately use her ability to cheat, but her [ability to control luck] was not a magic acquired through acquired practice, but an innate talent. It has long been as natural as breathing, unless she encounters someone represented by the Boundary Breaker. A strong person, she cannot let herself become "lucky".
From this point of view, leaving the main group early is not completely lazy, but also takes care of Kaguya's mood and play experience. There is a European emperor who is sure to win every bet next to him. Whether he follows the bet or goes against the odds, it seems boring and meaningless.
"Although it's a bit early, we can't let the snacks ruin the aftertaste of the delicious food. Let's call it a day." Di looked away from the screen, picked up the suitcase that seemed a little empty because he was betting on Feiton to win, and went to the cashier. Exchange it into Bailey's at the airport and take a taxi back to the pier.
She wanted to rent a turtle car, but her short legs couldn't step on the accelerator, so she could only accept the reality with tears.
Noticing that the others had come back first, Di jumped into the cabin door and shouted happily: "I'm back~"
"Since you're back, come here and help." Suzusen was full of resentment. She only had time to play a few games because she had to serve Kaguya well.
"I don't want to. I am a capable rabbit who has made millions of beli, so I can't overdo it~" Di Chao Lingxian made a face, and then looked in the direction of the dining table, "Ah~ are there any guests?"
There were two tables of guests, one table had eight muscle turtles, and the other table had eight muscle turtles and a white-haired girl with scars on her face. The Emperor, who had watched the turtle car race, naturally knew their identities.
"Not a customer, but a friend we just met." Feiton blinked, "We haven't obtained a business license in this country yet, so we can't operate illegally."
"In this country of gamblers where the king takes the lead in committing crimes, you are too law-abiding." Xili thought of the trap Tezolo and Baccarat set for her, until today when she won the turtle car race, she had The shackles were finally lifted.
Feiton looked at Yong Lin and blinked: "After all, we are just a group of ordinary people, and it is our duty to abide by the law~"
"With your appearance and demeanor, you are completely unconvincing." Xili rolled her eyes. She is not young anymore, but she still has this discernment. (Friendly reminder: Although Ciri in "The Witcher 3" behaves very childishly, she is actually hundreds of years old. This is the official setting.)
"Well, the duties of a civilian do not include being submissive." Feiton smiled and returned to the kitchen to prepare for work.
Feiton and Suzusen were working, Kaguya and Eirin returned to the room. The muscle turtle could only shout "Kaaa". Shiri decided to nip the bud of boredom before it appeared. She waved to the emperor and said: "Little sister, come here to accompany my sister. Playing cards~"
After saying that, he took out a thick stack of Gwent cards from his pocket and spread them out on the table. m..
"I come first, I come first!" Emperor's eyes lit up, he ran over and threw himself on the table, quickly selecting cards, "Watch me beat you to tears with the Human Rhythm Empire deck~"
Xili smiled disdainfully and slowly took the card she wanted: "Ha~ let me test your strength with the Plague Banshee deck."
After a few seconds, the two men stopped in unison and looked at each other in astonishment.
...something seems not quite right.
》》》》》》》
A race was born in a certain dimension with the ability to travel between dimensions. Because it looks like a horse and has a sharp horn in the center of its forehead, let's call it "unicorn".
Unicorns are not beasts that only eat grass. They have intelligence and feelings, and can communicate with other races telepathically. Even so, the only people who can make them show up to chat are "young virgins". It is believed that men start from birth. The girl who started out was dirty, the girl who lost her first blood, and the old woman who never got married were not pure enough... Well, fairy tales are left to young children, and adults should analyze the problem from logic and rationality.
Don't talk about reproductive isolation in the magical world. The result of not being able to control the lower body is the loss of blood, allowing other races to gain the power of dimensional travel. The elves of a certain dimension train the descendants of unicorns as dimensional navigators. They hunt unicorns and make tools with the power to open dimensional passages (need to be positioned by navigators), thereby achieving the sublimation of civilization and conquering other civilizations. , enslave other races, and change homes when in crisis.
However, the power derived from blood can never avoid the problem of "dilution of blood". A few lucky ones with outstanding abilities may occasionally appear, but overall they will become weaker as the times change.
Just when the elves were facing the crisis of depleting the talent reserve of dimensional navigators, they noticed that a lost bloodline had extraordinary dimensional travel potential, and they were overjoyed to launch an endless hunt for it - yes, this lost bloodline is Ciri, the daughter of the Emperor of Nilfgaard and the Princess of Cintra, and the adopted daughter of the demon hunter Geralt.
"Your life is too grand, isn't it?" Dad destroyed my mother's country, strayed into the territory of the forest elf, was hunted by multiple forces, was abused by mercenaries, was thrown into the arena to fight, and escaped the wild hunt in another dimension. After being hunted down, Kaguya, who is also a princess, was shocked and still had a little bit of envy.
Ciri, who was holding the Gwent card that made both parties aware of each other's identity, said angrily: "I hope to live a stable and peaceful life for a few years, but they won't let me go."
"It's understandable. After all, your existence involves the future prospects of their entire race." If Yonglin sat in the position of the Elf King, he would give the same order, "Of course, I didn't suggest that you sacrifice yourself for the righteousness of a strange race. meaning of interests.”
Xili banged the dining table and said with some excitement: "The word 'strange race' hits the nail on the head! We don't even live in the same word!"
"Excuse me, I'm quite interested in one of the details." Feiton is not interested in the righteousness of the elves. He is a superficial man. "Weren't you once captured in the royal city of the elves? The goal is not only to obtain your services, Ciri, but also to achieve sustainable development... So, nothing happened between you and the Elf King?"
Kaguya and the others immediately became energetic and looked at Ciri with bright eyes.
"No." Xili turned her head and answered vaguely, "...not long after, I escaped with the help of the unicorn."
Feiton narrowed his eyes: "Are you sure you want me to go find Mephisto to inquire about this matter? That guy is an evil devil who causes harm wherever he goes~"
"Don't you have the option to stop when enough is enough!" Xili said angrily, thinking for a few seconds, then closed her eyes and recounted the embarrassing incident loudly, "I am a human, the Elf King said that I look like a big piece of pork, try it for three nights He couldn't get hard, so the Elf General gave him an aphrodisiac, but he died suddenly because of too much use - that's all!"
"..." Feiton and the others kept their faces straight and said nothing.
Shirley licked her tongue and said depressingly: "Don't hold back your laughter. From a human perspective, if I didn't have this scar on my face, I would be classified as a beauty."
The next second, the boat was filled with laughter.
